SeaLab 2021
In 1967, Alex Toth created the world's first cartoon that promoted enviromental awareness and interracial friendship. This cartoon was called SeaLab 2020.
Well, people figured out that the enviroment sucks already, and that as soon as the sun burns out, Earth's history, and the planet's already too polluted for us to do anything about it. And that's why, 34 years later, Williams Street created SeaLab 2021.
SeaLab 2021 is about an underwater metropolis who's inhabinants have been living in there for a year. So, like most other U.S. government-funded facilities, the staff has become lazy, eccentric, surly, and somewhat paranoid.

CAST OF CHARACTERS
CAPTAIN HAZEL "HANK" MURPHY
As captain of SeaLab, Murphy has become insane, or damn well near it, due to the usual stresses that accompany most positions of authority. Murph admires Michael Kane, once ripped the air waves as MadDog Murphy on his hit pirate radio station, is obsessed with his Happy Cake oven, and wants to one day put his brain in a beautiful woman's robot body. With hard nipples. Don't ask.
MARCO RODRIGO DIAZ de VIVAR GABRIEL GARCIA MARQUEZ
*Voiced by the world-famous Erik Estrada!* Marco, Capt.Murphy's first mate (again, don't ask),who is not only proud of his Latin heritadge, but almost egotistical about it. According to the official Adult Swim site, Marco is "...a walking pherenome...". And when they say this, they don't mean he's a type of lawn gnome.
JODENE SPARKS
SeaLab's communications expert/twisted madman, who has a secret mountain stronghold that houses his henchmen and all of his Doomsday devices. Sparks also has an odd sort of fetish with driving Murphy insane (or even more so).
DR. QUENTIN Q.QUINN
No, this is NOT the medicine woman Dr.Quinn, but the local "bastard child of nature and science", who seems to be the only mentally healthy person on SeaLab. Dr.Quinn is also the one who saves SeaLab and it's staff on a regular basis, and has an IQ of 260.
DEREK "STORMY" WATERS
The good-looking dumbass of the crew that has an eerie resemblance to Michael Kelso from That 70' Show.
THE FRENCH GUY
Jaouque Coustau parody. 'Nuff said.
HESH
As the youngest working member of the SeaLab crew, Hesh often gets treated as what he is: A big, whiny, immature brat who got assigned to work in the reactor core so nobody will have to listen to him. Also refers to himself in the third-person.
BALD GUY(Name Soon to Come!)
A big, dumb, rude bald guy with a grossly hair-coated back. Likes "clicking those robot boots". Yet again, don't ask.
DEBBIE DuPREE (aka "White Debbie")
Marine biologist that was once thought one of the men on SeaLab was fit to father her child when her biological clock went off.
DOLPHIN BOY
A little fat kid who can speak only in dolphin. Everyone hates him for being SO FAT!!
DEBBIE (aka "Black Debbie")
Day care specialist who has a "thing" for Marco. Also hates Dolphin Boy and Stormy.

EPISODE/PILOT GUIDE
1)STEALTH PILOT #2/EPISODE-"Happy Cake Oven"
SYNOPSIS
Murphy's beloved Happy Cake oven has gone missing, so he sends out Dr.Quinn, the French Guy, and Stormy, who Murphy wants to die for discovering his dirty sheets, to find it. Meanwhile, Sparks reveals to Marco that he stole the oven and launched it into the briney deep, which is all part of his plan to drive the captain insane. Sparks also mentions his secret mountain stronghold, where he communicates to his henchmen via hologram, through which he can shoot out lasers out of his eyes. When Marco learns this, he decides he wants to be a henchman for Sparks. Out in the sub, Stormy and Dr.Quinn are annoyed by the French Guy's random babblings about aquatic life forms. Back on SeaLab, Sparks discovers a giant squid on the radar, and warns Stormy. In the ocean, the squid takes the oven. As the sub approaches the squid, the French Guy babbles something about how giant squids aren't really violent, but that they are just very curious. Stormy proves this wrong by using the sub's pincer to pick up a huge rock and drops it on the squid's eye, causing it to go into a maddened frenzy. All the while, Murphy is watching them, cheering on the squid as it was crushing the sub's hull, hoping that Stormy will be killed in the process. Sparks tells them to use the pincer to press the off button on the oven, causing the oven to release a cloud of poison, ridding them of the squid. As they return to SeaLab, Sparks tells Marco that the on button activates a 30-mega ton hydrogen bomb. Murphy presses it before Marco can stop him, thus imploding SeaLab. A few moments later, it is revealed that Murphy just blacked out, and that the entire episode was just a hallucination.
MEMORABLE LINES
1]Murphy-"It is NOT a toy. It has icing packets. And a 40-watt bulb. But the secret ingredient is love. Dammit."
2]Sparks-"Oh, that is IT! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO HEAR THE WORD 'WOMB' TODAY?!!"
3]Murphy-"NO. I MUST have my oven. My sweet, CAKEY treasures, piping hot from their 40, WATT, WOOOMMBBBB."
2)STEALTH PILOT #3/EPISODE-"I, Robot"
SYNOPSIS
A news report about a monkey's brain being placed inside a robot sparks a conversation between Murphy and Sparks concerning putting their human brains inside robots. Marco walks into the communications room, and joins the talk. Meanwhile, a hurricane on the ocean's surface causes a ship's anchor to plummet into one of SeaLab's pods. The people in the pod send out a distress call to Sparks, who just shuts off the monitor to keep talking about robots with Murphy, Marco, and Debbie. They send out Dr.Quinn to take care of the pod. Throughout the rest of the show, everyone on SeaLab gathers in the main communications room with Murphy, Sparks, Debbie, Stormy, and Marco. When Dr.Quinn finally stops the spontaneous implosions, he goes to the mess hall, where the Bald Guy, Debbie, and Sparks are sitting around, talking about (you guessed it) robots. Irritated, Dr.Quinn rips his chest open and shows everyone that he's a cyborg, explaining that his weak body couldn't handle the diseases of the 21st century, so, using his IQ of 260, he built a cybernetic host body for his brain, becoming "this bastard child of nature and science". Then SeaLab implodes.
MEMORABLE LINES
1]Sparks-"But Captain, your robot would be the perfect man. Handsome, strong...
Murphy-Well, could my robot be a- heh, beautiful woman?
Sparks-Uh, yeah. Sure.
Murphy-Then you'd better believe I'd put my brain in a robot's body!"
2]Sparks-"We were talking about puttin' a human brain in a robot.
Marco-Robot body?! No way. That's against the Natuaral Order!
Sparks-Well, you'd have the strength of five men-
Murphy-NOT five men! Five gorillas. But, since you're that strong, if you tried to pet a kitten, you'd crush it.
Marco-Oh, no! Poor kitty!
Murphy-Yeah, see what I'm talking about?"
3]Dr.Quinn-"Alright, so check this out. I've only got about 6 seconds 'till Pod 5 implodes, and-
Bald Guy-Yeah, yeah, yeah. (To Debbie)Hey, will my robot body have hair?
Stormy-Just on your back, like you do now.
Debbie-Oh! Gr-osss! (pause)Wait. What's with robot sex?
Bald Guy-Yeah, baby! Clickin' those robot boots!"
3]Old Gus-"The penalty for a robot harming a human will be... ONE THOUSAND YEARS, FROZEN IN CARBONITE!
Stormy-Wha? A THOUSAND years?
Murphy-Ugh. my nipples are hard just THINKING about it..."
3)"Chickmate"
SYNOPSIS
Debbie's biological clock goes off, making her obsessed with trying to have a baby. She starts to call a dolphin her "baby", confusing the men of SeaLab. Meanwhile, Marco hits it off with the other Debbie, who is a teacher, and also just so happens to be black. Stormy refers to her as "Black Debbie" to tell her apart from Debbie who is obsessed with having a baby, and continues to act like a total idiot whenever she is in the same room as him. To make matters even worse, Debbie decides to attempt to have one of the men on Sealab to father her child, resulting in Marco flexing his oily, steroid-enhanced bod, Stormy to make a video of himself dressed up as Hugh Hefner, Hesh yelling about how he wants some SEX, Capt. Murphy to think that Debbie said that she's going to adopt one of the crew, so he calls her "mommy", then gets an artificial moustache to call his own, for Sparks to tell her about a book by Jonathan Swift called A Modest Proposal (NOTE-This is a real book, kids. Check it out some time!!) and Dr. Quinn to practically impregnate Debbie through her wetsuit, which seemed quite pleasing for her *wink wink*. Eventually, Debbie finally comes back to her senses, and realizes that she already has 6 full-grown babies to take care of: the men of Sealab. Murphy questions about what the Space Baby would say, but to no avail. Soon, Debbie and Murph hop on the good foot and do the bad thing (all while Murphy is wearing his moustache).
MEMORABLE LINES
1] (Debbie sprints down the hallway screaming about babies)
'Black' Debbie-"(sypathetically) Lord, her clock went off. That sweet girl is about to embark on a magical journey. Most powerful thing in the world is the love of a woman for a child...
Dolphin Boy-(something in dolphin)
'Black' Debbie-(harshly)LISTEN FATTY, I told you, you can either HOLD IT, or you can just PEE in that wetsuit!!!"
2] (with a big red kiss mark on his cheek)Marco-"Well, Debbie thinks this is all about her biological clock, and I-
Stormy-(inturupting)Did she stop screaming long enough to tell you that??
Marco-Huh? Oh, no-no-no-no-no-no. The OTHER Debbie. Debbie the TEACHER?
Stormy-Oh. You mean...(quietly)...Black Debbie.
Sparks-Woah woah woah woah. Why is she 'Black' Debbie??
Stormy-No, not in a BAD way, its just a way to tell them apart because she's...(quietly)...black.
Sparks-So why don't you call HER Debbie, and the other one...(mockingly quiet)...white Debbie.
Stormy-(guffaws)WHITE Debbie?? (laughs) That's stupid! I know she's white..."
3] Dr. Quinn- Man, how'd you feel if eveyone went around calling you "White" Stormy?
Stormy-(gasps) You mean there's a BLACK Stormy?!!"
4] Stormy-(grumbling)"Stupid Hesh...I'll show HIM what a pipe is...hey, where IS the reactor room anywa-(sees 'Black' Debbie)
Debbie-Hey, Stormy!
